New Oil Tank

LVT Number: 10992

Landlord applied for MCI rent hikes based on the installation of a new oil tank. The DRA ruled for landlord, and tenant appealed, claiming that the useful life of the oil tank hadn't expired and that installation of a new oil tank constituted ordinary maintenance and repairs. The DHCR ruled against tenant. Landlord's MCI application was proper. The oil tank qualified as a major capital improvement.
